View the Conference Program NCMPR MARCH 16-18, 2021 NCMPR.ORG IT’S ALL FOR YOU We see you, that never-miss-a-conference crew and those what’s-it-all-about first-timers. We see you, marketing newbies excited to learn and longtime pros who know how much a conference can inspire. This year, NCMPR’s national conference is going virtual, and it’s all for you — all of you. We know you’re sick of your computer. And Zoom. And not getting to hop on an airplane to see your friends and colleagues from other zip codes. But the benefits of going virtual can’t be ignored: • Don’t you hate it when two perfect-for-you breakouts are at the exact same time? Now you can catch every presentation you want. Attend in real time, and log back on for extra sessions. • Get access to nearly 50 community college experts and exhibitors excited to help. • And then, of course, there’s NCMPR’s very first National Conference in a Box. Is it the same as swapping stories around the coffee bar? Well, no. But the box will be full of goodies to add a little playtime to the conference — and it’s available only to early-bird registrants. Your next steps are simple: Check out the brochure for the conference details, sign up by the early-bird deadline (that’s Feb. 26!), and block out March 16-18 on your calendars for NCMPR’s national conference. We can’t wait to see you there. Times throughout are presented in Eastern Daylight Time. 2 OPENING KEYNOTE KEITH BOYKIN TUESDAY, MARCH 16 1-2 P.M.

  • Tapestry! PFLAG's Diversity Outreach Program Celebrating Black History Month and Remembering Bayard Rustin February 19, 2010
    P O Box 12732 Olympia, WA 98508-2732 email: [email protected] website: http://www.pflag-olympia.org Tapestry! PFLAG's Diversity Outreach Program Celebrating Black History Month and remembering Bayard Rustin February 19, 2010 In July 2009 PFLAG-Olympia was chosen to participate in PFLAG National’s new diversity outreach pilot program. In September 2009 we had an excellent full-day training here in Olympia "PFLAG Tapestry" which asked: How do we interweave our stories and collaborate to move equality forward? It included sections on self-awareness, cultural competence, outreach and coalition-building, developing an inclusive, collaborative chapter structure and more. It was lead by PFLAG’s Western Field & Policy Manager Cesar Hernandez, with PFLAG’s Executive Director Jody Huckaby also in attendance. Because we recognize that we need to do a better job of welcoming and celebrating communities of color here, PFLAG-Olympia is creating the main part of this project to focus on outreach to and education about African- American LGBTQ people and their families. We screened the inspirational powerful film "Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin" at our February PFLAG meeting. Then three screenings of the film will be held in February in local venues: The Evergreen State College, River Ridge High School, and South Puget Sound Community College. The film follows the life of this gay civil rights activist who was called an American Gandhi. Rustin was a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and was a staff member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). Historian John D’Emilio calls Rustin the “lost prophet” of the civil rights movement.

  • Lesbigay Identity As Commodity
    LesBiGay Identity as Commodity David M. Skover & Kellye Y. Testyt This Essay explores the deep dissonance that exists today between the validation of American LesBiGays in the commercial marketplace and their devaluation in politicaland legal arenas, and questions the failure of legal scholars and civil rights activists to account meaningfully for this dissonance in their theories andpractices. In America's popular culture, LesBiGay identities abound. In its po- litical culture, however, they emerge more tentatively. The commercial and entertainment industries increasingly commodify and celebrate LesBiGay identities. The courts and legislatures generally discount and condemn them. Thus, there is a deep dissonance between the validation of LesBiGay identities in the economic marketplace of items and ideas, and their de- valuation in the legal arena of rights and remedies. Such a dissonancefos- ters a fragmented sense of what LesBiGay identities are, and whether or how they are valued. Surprisingly, this schizoid treatment of LesBiGay identity is largely ignored or misunderstood by legal theorists and practitioners.Typically, they look primarily to politics and law for the paths to LesBiGay self- realization and social inclusion. The academy and activists have yet to ap- preciate that consumer-driven corporatism, commercial entrepreneurship, and the fetishes andfantasies of the mass media are unleashingpowerful culturalforces that will influence, for better or worse, the LesBiGay quest for liberty and equality. For if"the business ofAmerica is business," then surely the Americanizationof the LesBiGay identity is business, too. Copyright © 2002 David M. Skover and Kellye Y. Testy. t David Skover and Kellye Testy are friends and professorial colleagues at Seattle University School of Law.

  • Cnbc and the Discourses of Financialization
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications SHAPING THE MARKET: CNBC AND THE DISCOURSES OF FINANCIALIZATION A Dissertation in Mass Communications by Aaron Heresco 2014 Aaron Heresco Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2014 The dissertation of Aaron J. Heresco was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew Jordan Associate Professor of Media Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Matthew McAllister Assistant Graduate Program Chair / Professor, Media Studies Michael Elavsky Associate Professor of Media Studies Alan Sica Professor of Sociology Marie Hardin Dean, College of Communications *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract This research examines the discursive construction of financialization and financial markets as represented on the cable network CNBC. Following the financial crisis of 2008, discourses of an about finance became legible throughout the social body. From calls for austerity to understandings of the range of social and political possibles, financial markets were an increasingly important cultural force. Financial markets, however, are neither natural nor inevitable, and an analysis of the ways in which these markets and their participants are constituted enlists the Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC) as a critical site in the cultural circuit of finance capitalism. How CNBC functions as both a financial entity in its own right, as well as a site of discursive production and distribution about finance, positions the network as an important site for the study of financial discourses. A critical discourse analysis of CNBC content highlighted a number of themes regarding market discourses: namely pertaining to ludo-finance, a financial pedagogy, new spatial and temporal social conceptions, and a ritualistic and religious attitude toward financial markets.
